Message from ATA Conventions regarding inclement weather and safe travels...

“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and
professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your
assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or
inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include
language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave
clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of
leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or
report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective
agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you
need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment
Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”

The National Reading Panel has identified phonics as one of the 5 key pillars of reading instruction. Phonics teaches the relationship between the sounds in words and the letters that spell them. Once students understand these relationships, they can apply them when reading and spelling. Phonics instruction needs to be explicit and systematic. This means that teachers tell their students what they're going to learn, and model how they're expected to learn it. These skills and concepts are taught in a logical and progressive sequence that builds on previously learned skills, and teachers provide multiple opportunities for students to practice as they work towards mastery. This session will focus on the most impactful way to bring phonics instruction into your classroom, using a structured phonics lesson plan. We will discuss the key elements of a structured phonics lesson and how to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together to get your students on the road to reading and writing!
